Explore the Capital's transport treasure trove
Explore the Capital's hidden trove of transport treasure in Acton Town when the London Transport Museum Depot opens its doors for half-term family fun on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May, and from Wednesday 2 to Sunday 6 June 2021 , once the relevant restrictions lift .
Families visiting the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton Town during May half-term can marvel at historic buses, climb aboard vintage Tube trains and see curious objects from London's transport past.
Along the way families can work together to create a board game inspired by these historic vehicles and objects to play at home. Children will also receive a special activity pack that includes a craft kit to make during their visit and a creative take-away activity.
Even more fun can be had by hopping aboard the London Transport Miniature Railway for a ride on replica models of vintage Underground trains used on the Metropolitan line between the 1920s and 1960s.
The Depot shop will also be open to pick-up exclusive transport inspired gifts, books, homeware, poster artwork and games, including stylish Underground inspired face-coverings to stay safe whilst out and about.
Timed entry starts from 10:00. Adult tickets cost £15 and £7.50 for children. Kids aged 3 and under go free. Tickets must be booked online in advance. Early birds enjoy 20 per cent off Depot tickets until 11 May and concessionary rates are available.
